The Istituto ad Ordinamento Universitario Carolina Albasio (CA) plays a pivotal role in advancing the objectives of the Erasmus+ project focused on empowering deaf and hard of hearing youth. As one of the key partners, CA leverages its expertise in education, inclusion, and professional development to foster greater opportunities for this marginalized group.  

Leadership in Curriculum Testing  

A cornerstone of the project is the “Curriculum for Youth Workers: How to Empower Deaf and Hard of Hearing Youngsters’ Entrepreneurial and Employability Skills.” Carolina Albasio has partaken in the initiative and has led the testing of the curriculum in Italy. Through national training tourses, CA has organized multi-session events aimed at equipping youth workers—spanning social welfare, education, and employment sectors—with the tools to support deaf and hard of hearing youth effectively.  

These courses serve as a platform for youth workers to deepen their understanding of deaf and hard of hearing youth -specific challenges, communication strategies, and the broader landscape of employability and entrepreneurship. The Italian training sessions, under CA’s stewardship, ensure the curriculum is practically validated and tailored to real-world needs.  

Local Workshops for Toolkit Development  

Beyond curriculum testing, Carolina Albasio will host local workshops, designed to test and refine a toolkit that complements the curriculum. These workshops will emphasize interactive, participant-driven activities, enabling youth workers to collaborate directly with deaf and hard of hearing youth individuals. The insights gained through these workshops play a critical role in fine-tuning project outputs, ensuring they are impactful and applicable across diverse contexts.  

Enhancing Visibility Through Digital Outreach  

CA also spearheads the project’s digital communication efforts. By partaking in the development of online educational resources and coordinating one of the social media campaigns, Carolina Albasio ensures that the project’s outcomes reach a wide audience. These resources include accessible training materials, videos, and awareness-raising content that amplify the project’s mission to create inclusive opportunities for deaf and hard of hearing youth.

A Vision for Inclusion  

Carolina Albasio’s involvement reflects a deep commitment to inclusivity and education as tools for social transformation. By actively engaging in curriculum testing, toolkit refinement, and public outreach, the University not only contributes to the professional growth of youth workers but also champions the rights and potential of DHH youth.  

In collaboration with other international partners, the University strives to bridge the gap between challenges and opportunities, paving the way for a more equitable future. Through its leadership and expertise, CA exemplifies how institutions can drive change and inspire inclusivity in local and global contexts.
